IT’S had a massive shake up after Phoebe Waller-Bridge was brought in to re-write the script and now Bond 25 is being shaken — and stirred — once again.

I can exclusively reveal that bosses have for the first time employed an intimacy coach to make sure the actors feel comfortable during sex scenes.

A film insider said: “Producer Barbara Broccoli and her team are going all out to bring Bond up to speed. It’s all changed in the #MeToo era and they’re going to extra lengths to make sure all the stars are getting the support they need on set, including during some of the more risqué sex scenes.

“An intimacy coordinator is now on set during those scenes and is working with Daniel Craig and new Bond girl Ana De Armas to run through the script and make sure they feel comfortable. It’s really progressive and is a step in the right direction – not just for Bond but the industry as a whole.”

The famous Bond girls, who include Eva Green in Casino Royale, look set to get a feminist touch in the new movie thanks to Fleabag writer Phoebe.

She confirmed last month that she wanted the female characters to “feel like real people” before adding: “Daniel’s films have had really fantastic Bond girls, so it’s just keeping it up.”

Production of the next instalment is on ice after Daniel hurt his ankle during filming in Jamaica.

He was flown to the US for treatment but is expected to return this week.

A source told The Sun: “Daniel was furious he suffered an injury after spending months getting into prime physical shape. It seemed a disaster at first but the injury is not severe and he will be able to film while not over- exerting his ankle.”

It’s not the first time Daniel — who has confirmed this film would be his last as 007 — has injured himself on set.

He lost two teeth, tore shoulder muscles and sliced off the tip of his finger while filming 2008’s Quantum Of Solace.

Sounds like he’s in more need of an injury coordinator than an intimacy one...

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are doing Cannes Film Festival the right way – enjoying a pizza on their hotel balcony.

They got married last year and it looked like they were doing it all over again, what with the actress’s white gown and Jonas Brothers rocker Nick’s matching tux.

Film premieres are clearly hungry work, as the pair had just been walking the red carpet for French movie The Best Years Of A Life.

Baywatch beauty Priyanka used her best acting skills to dramatically exaggerate that pizza moment.

Luckily, they didn’t spill any of it down their pristine outfits.

Good on them, after a night out there’s nothing I like better than a slice of pizza – or greasy kebab.

Olly Murs review — 02 Arena, London

Olly fans think he's simply wonderful

I sent Ellie Henman to watch Olly Murs during his All The Hits Tour. Here’s what she thought...

FROM the moment he bounced on stage, Olly had the 20,000 crowd totally Wrapped Up.

It’s been almost a decade since he found fame on The X Factor and his electric performance showed why he’s still so popular.

Along with belting out his biggest hits, including Heart Skips A Beat, Troublemaker and Dear Darlin’, Olly shared tunes from his favourite artists.

The sold-out arena went wild as he launched into Stevie Wonder’s classic Superstition and he brought some fans to tears singing Simply Red’s Stars with his Voice UK-winning act Molly Hocking.

His 90-minute set was high energy and Olly’s brilliant band and backing singers made the night feel like a house party.

He also had fans laughing at his cheeky anecdotes.

And with his famous tight trousers and those naughty hip thrusts, Olly made sure every person went home with a massive smile on their face.

Dani back on TV

SHE’S written a bestseller and launched a hot clothing range since winning Love Island – and now Dani Dyer is making a TV comeback.

She will take over from Stormzy’s girlfriend Maya Jama as the new presenter of MTV dating show True Love Or True Lies, alongside her EastEnders dad Danny Dyer.

A source said: “Maya struggled to make the show a hit so bosses tapped up Dani and she jumped at the chance.

“She’s just finished shooting the series and it will air later this year. Dani wants to make her mark on TV again and having this presenting gig under her belt will hopefully lead to bigger things.

“True Love Or True Lies is a dating show very much like Love Island so Dani is the perfect fit.”

Watch out Caroline Flack, you’ve got some competition.

It's not just my temperature being raised as Jennifer Lopez gets hot and sweaty in her latest video.
The Jenny From The Block singer collaborates with dance DJ Steve Aoki for Medicine.

In the video she wears this small black vest with a “Karma” slogan written on it and a matching thong as she pole dances.

And she does that pretty much the whole way through the song.

This is just the medicine I need for a Monday morning...
